- Once the tendon is settling down, and you can walk normally, and perhaps jog gently, perform the ‘IMPORTANT’ and ‘OPTIONAL’ video advice below.
- Perform the ‘ESSENTIAL CHECKS’ videos below, which assess if you need orthotics, how stable your hip muscles are (if they are not, then click here), if there is a difference in your leg lengths, whether you need new shoes, if your core stability is strong enough (if it isn’t, then click here).

- Replace the icing with contrast hydrotherapy (see videos below).
